VEIN UND GESANG.

New York city is subject to period
zeal reform spasms, and every now and
then when fit of this kind attacks the
metropolis the reform business is sure
to be Cverdone. A notable example of
excessive reformation was recently
presented in the effort to suppress beer
gardens. Under law which prohibits
the sale of beer and liquors at places
where theatrical entertainments are
given the New York municipal author
tiles directed that beer and music could
not go together. and consequently Or
dered the closing of all beer gardens.
Of course this aroused the indignation
Of the German population, and they inn
mediately appealed to the state legiSla-
ture to know if the excise law of New
admitted of such construction. The
appeal was heard at Albany, and an
swered by the immediate passage of a
bill popularity known as the beer and
music law, which restores to the citi-
ZenS of the metropolis the right to sit in
their beer gardens and concert halls and
listen to rapturouS strains of music
while they sip their beer. The cOmbi-
nation of beer and music is an innocent
form of amusement which is not en-
jOyed by Germans exclusively. Our
native Americans take to it as kindly as
if it had always been a national custom
with us. In fact, there is no anti-hot-
weather specific yet discovered equal to
vein und geSang.

THEATRICAL COMPANIES.

1t would almost seem that the inter-
state commerce commission would be
justified in suSpending the anti-discrim-
alton clause of the law so far as it affects
travelling theatrical companies. 1t is
said that since the law went into effect
over twenty companies have been
forced to disband because they could
not afford to carry with them the neceS-
Sary amount of scenery to make their
representations attractive to the people,
nor could they afford to play in the
smaller towns, from which, under the
old dispensation, large part of their
receipts came. This is an unfortunate
circumstance much to be regretted,
more on the account of the public than
the companies themselves, the members
of which can probably secure engage
mentS in some of the larger cities.
People living i'll the smaller towns of
the country, as rule, have too little
amusement to vary the monOtony of
III eir lives. They must depend almost
exclusively upon the travelling theatrical
companies for diversion, and with these
taken from them, they can do nothing
else but fall back upon their own re-
sources, usually meager enough, for en-
tertainment. While frequently the
reverse of excellent, there was hardly
one of the travelling companies which
did not in some way contribute to the
popular amusement, and some even
added an educational tendency to their
capacity for entertainment. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore, that in some manner
the law may be construed so as to enable
the companies to visit small towns as
usual.
Legitimate amusements are in this
country few enough already. Every
encouragement should be given toward
increasing their number instead of cur
failing it.

amendments to the civil service rules
will probably accomplish the desired
end.
1t is intepded that all OfficeholderS
who have not passed civil service eX-
animation before appointment shall
now be compelled to do SO, and
those who fail to pass shall be
discharged. Though doubtless this is
one way of getting rid of the dead tim
Der that has for SO long encountered the
departments, the amendment does not go
far enough. 1t should further state
that none but good Democrats shall be
eligible to appointment to the vacated
places SO long as Democratic admins
tration is in power.
But ii ought not even to be necessary
to go through the form of an eXamina-
ton i'll order to get rid of the unde-
sirable officials. Are they not Repub-
licanS? Granted. Then that fact alone
should be cause enough for their dis
miSSal. Democrats, more competent
than they, can be secured for the po-
SitionS.
1t is an impairment of the public
service, then, to longer delay offering
the places to those of the true faith.

A SURPRISE PRESIDENT,

President CIEyELAND'S public career
has been series of brilliant surprises.
When he was nominated by the New
York Democrats for governor of his
state there were plenty of people who
ridiculed the idea of the eX-sheriff of
Erie county filling a position in the exc
cutive Office in the Empire state of the
Union. Yet, he was elected by ma
jOrity which had no precedent in state
elections, and had not served out his
term OF two years until he was trans
ferred to the Office OF chief magistrate
OF the greatest nation OH earth. Again
the cr0akerS were plentiful, who pre-
dicted that his administration would be
the most dismal failure in the history of
the country. And yet, although more
than one-half of his presidential term
has expired, his critics have not been
able to point to a single mistake that
has been made. None of his illuStriouS
predecessors eXcelled him in conscien-
tiouS discharge of the duties of his office,
and but few, if any, have eQualed him
in genuine executive ability. Notwith-
standing all these evidences of readi-
frOnted him, still there were chronic
carperS who insisted that the time would
come when the president would strike a
Snag. They admitted that he was i'll
duStriOuS and conscientious, and that he
could write better state papers than they
had believed him capable of. But how
ever we'll he might write, they were salts
fed that he couldn't talk. They shook
their heads in an ominouS sort of way and
asserted that if Mr.. CLEVELAND was
ever called upon for public speech the
nation would be Inundated by the awk-
ward manner he would stumble through
it. Again their dismal predictions have
come to nought. The speech delivered
by the president at the unwilling of the
GARFIELD monument is the last in the
series of surprises. The manner of its
delivery was not less effective than the
matter of the speech itself, which is a
model of patriotic eloluence. Instead
of experiencing a sense of humiliation,
the nation is proud of its chief magis-
trate. Now for the next surprise.

COL. COLVILLE.

There has perhaps been nothing relat-
ing to federal appointments which has
given more universal satisfaction to the
people of the state interested i'll the APP
pointment than the announcement that
Col. CoLVILLE was to be made receiver
of public money at Duluth. 1t is nat
ural to expect that there would be some
disappointment on the part of the
friends of local candidates that the
Zenith City was not hOnored by having
the Office bestowed upon one of its own
citizens. AT the same time there is a
universal recognition of the fitness OF
the appointee and of his deserts. Col
CoLvILLE is an old hero of whom Min
neS0ta people are proud. His record as
commander of the gallant First Mime
sofa regiment fills one of the brightest
pages in the history of the state. Mod
est and unpretentiOus in the discharge
of the duties of peaceful citizenship as
he was courageous in war, he is the
model of a patriotic citizen. Such g
man is one whom the people delight tc
honor.
